3.4 Requirements for wall and pole installation
The installation wall or pole must be inspected by qualified personnel before
mounting the BTS. This is to ensure that the mounting is strong enough to bear
the weight of the BTS (maximum 40 kg / 88.2 lb) in its operating environment.
Pole mounting kit
An optional pole mounting kit is required for pole installations. This kit is ordered
separately if required. The pole diameter can be between 60 and 300 mm (2.36
and 11.81 in.). Refer to Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station: Installation for
detailed information on pole mounting of the BTS.
Anchor screws
Anchor screws are used for attaching the Nokia MetroSite EDGE Base Station to
the wall. These screws are not included in the delivery.
The anchor screws must be M6 size, stainless steel, and with the minimum
breaking strength (R
m
) of 800 N/mm
2
. An appropriate mounting counterpart for
the anchor screw (such as an anchor plug) must be selected according to the screw
and the mounting base material. If the anchor screws are of a type other than
metric, they must be selected to meet the strength requirements mentioned above.
Wind load
For pole mounting, a pole strong enough to withstand stormy conditions must be
selected. Table 4 shows the loads imposed on the pole (with a BTS attached to it)
for two possible wind velocities.
